  1. In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

    This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

    #Canada’s #NationalParks Are #Colonial #CrimeScenes.

    Many see wilderness as a right of citizenship. But the concept of Canada as untouched #nature is unrecognizable to #Indigenous people

    In 2017, it felt like the whole country was swept up in the rah-rah celebrations around Canada 150. It was a collective anniversary, a chance to celebrate our history. Well, some of it, anyway. Tied to the many calls to explore the country and take stock of its many wonders, #ParksCanada released its Discovery Pass, which granted free entry to all national parks that year. These natural spaces “represent the very best that Canada has to offer,” it announced in a press release. “They are the essence of our country because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures and contributions of Indigenous peoples.” But, as Robert Jago explored in his timely essay, Canada’s parks program was built on the displacement of Indigenous peoples and the capture of their territories—a form of “green colonialism.” Parks are wonderful spaces, but they have also acted as #political cover for the control of land, a tactic we still see used today.—Daniel Viola, senior editor, November 2023 issue.

  3. This week, I am voting for #BCGreens. I'd #NeverVoteConservative & after what's happened to me, my family, my BIPOC friends & my clients under #BCNDP leadership, I'd #NeverVoteNeoliberal either.

    No one can expect me to support #BCNewDeathParty after they keep approving more budget increases for #RCMPCIRG to protect #ecocide #CorporateGreed over protection of our environment/ecosystems, especially irreplaceable #AncientForests & over #BCcitizens #PublicHealth.

    #BCNDPLegacyoOfDeath includes my Dad. Their lack of taking #Covid seriously resulted in him being infected in hospital by unmasked staff. It is unforgivable. This government is still aiding/abetting unnecessary infections, deaths & long covid disability.

  4. He ensured I was medically OK - AFTER shitass #RCMPCIRG CO - SGT JASON CHARNEY(Google him) sent my #BCAmbulance help away - telling them no one needed medical assistance. #RCMP tried to lie to me & try to force me into using their corrupt & unaccountable RCMP #medics.
    Same kinda 'medics' caught on cameras, pepper spraying non-violent protestors & threatened more than 8 journalists who also got pepper sprayed & assaulted.

  5. Please do not ever forget us.
    We fought for you & for our #Oldgrowth #forests & #environment. We are still fighting! I was first arrested at #Clayoquot Sound. It was my very first #environmental #blockade. I have been arrested multiple times since. I refuse to stop fighting for #MotherEarth.

    This is a lifelong commitment for many of us longtime activists.

    Decades later Clayoquot, after Squamish violent standoffs & after the fight for #Walbran #Carmannah ancient forests; I was at Fairy Creek:
    youtu.be/MPTP4lFVYes?si=IK2KK7

    The #RCMP #StateViolence was increased on us at FC, because RCMP #CIRG was only created in 2017. After multilple huge #Indigenous stand-offs against govt assisted ecocide on unceded native lands for over 3 decades in #BritishColumbia. #RCMPCIRG is a voluntary #CorporateMercenaries unit, funded by public #Canadian taxpayers' monies & it should be #ABOLISHED.
